This is a whole other matter I've discussed to death in other threads, but Vita TV shouldn't count towards Vita sales.

i say the same thing but Sony will combine sales, i mean vita tv has vita in its name even though its a console of a handheld! To be honest i think the only reason vita is in the name to cover vita's (handheld) *** lol! Thats like if nintendo made WiiU looking handheld and added sales together to make wiiu look more successful!



Its beating it in software aswell in the US

I'm a big fan of mario games, but I need more. Even though nintendo isn't known for puming out new ip's a few per gen would go along way. As well as there legacy games, where's f-zero, Metroid, Star Fox, wave race, pilotwings, ect.  

On Wii there was the Wii ____ series, Xenoblade, Disaster Day of Crisis,  Endless Ocean.

As for legacy IPs, Wii also revived several, like Sin & Punishment, Punch-Out, and Excite Truck/Bots.


Seriously????? We're in a wii u thread, why are you taking about the original wii?   That's just what i want to do with my wii u.... Look at it and think of all the good times I had in the previous gen...... get a clue son

Ya u completely missed the point he was trying to make. U claimed that Nintendo doesnt make new IP each gen and that is false.

Arcade-Donkey Kong, Mario Bros

NES-Zelda, Metroid, Kid Icarus, Ice Climbers

Gameboy-Kirby, Pokemon

SNES-Star Fox, Pilotwings, F-Zero

N64-Wave Race, 1080 Snowboarding, Smash Bros

GBA-Fire Emblem, Advance Wars, Golden Sun

GC-Pikmin, Battation Wars, Animal Crossing, Custom Robo

DS-Brain Training, Nintendogs, Professor Layton

Wii-Sports/Play/Party/Fit/Music, Endless Ocean, Xenoblade

3DS-Steel Diver, Dillons Rolling Western(more to come)

Wii U-Wonderful 101, X(more to come)

A couple of those were released exclusively in Japan in generations before I listed them but u get the point, every Nintendo system has a few new IPs



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

i think vita is winning still, The Digital sales must have another 800k-1mil but this christmas wiiu will surpass it, SM3DW will be one of the top selling exclusive releases this holiday!

You implied NIntendo did not put out "a few new IPs per gen", or make games from legacy IPs, which is not true.  They may have not have gotten around to this on Wii U yet, but the thing hasn't even been out for a year yet. If you want a new IP on Wii U, there's Wonderful 101 and ZombiU.


Zombie u and wonderful 101 are great games. but they arn't legendary status i come to expect from nintendo. I'm not saying wii u doesn't have games, just not legendary ones yet. SM3DW looks like it could be, I'm gong to buy it day one. Fact is, I'm not the only one who feels this way, or wii u sales wouldn't be in the tank. When the wii launched I purchased Twilight princess, Exite truck and red steele on top of the free wii sports. With the excpetion of red steele, between the remaining 3, I probably logged in upwards of 2,000 hours. There is not one wii u game that makes me want to play through more than once.

Unless we can truly track the Digital sales its really hard to put a number on it, though it's a well known fact that the Vita has a very high percentage of its sales come from digital.



I'm actually surprised
